battey life on G3 is pretty good though, if you're economical. Lasts me 8-9 hours during office productivity on medium brightness. 15 inch model though. I gotta say it has amazing battery life given the size of the battery and the fact that it runs a full power H series CPU

Got mine in July 2019, my only regret is not getting the 9750h over the 9300h. I did not realize that the i5 was not like the desktops with 6 cores (I had an AMD desktop CPU). The i7 9750h however had more cache, higher clock speeds, and obviously the two extra cores. I definitely get a CPU bottleneck in certain games (CPU reaching 100%).

[@randomgayguyman]

@@chiragbhardwaj4835 Well I suppose its subjective. If you play any online comp games, you want as much fps as possible, especially if you have a high refresh monitor. And it terms of the current technology, 60fps+ is most easily achievable in 1080P. And personally, I don't see 4k being that great, it's something you notice at first, but ultimately gameplay takes over. I would rather have a super smooth experience with high fps, then a 30 fps 4k experience, which in comparison feels jittery. Unless you only play super casual games and are concerned about visuals over gameplay, then Imo 1080P is easily WAAY more preferable.

Alienware are way higher quality in various ways. If the g3 was actually made by alienware, I bet they'd be better. But perhaps also slightly more expensive, haha.

Majoring in mechanical engineering I’ve used solid works, fusion 360, and matlab on it and never had issues, battery life isn’t an issue when already expecting to plug it in every where I go but when I can’t it’s definitely not enough. The most taxing games I’ve played on it were apex which it couldn’t handle even at lowest settings, valorant ran fine, Minecraft well it depends on your settings. The hinge is the worst part of the laptop mine is broken badly and I have to squeeze the hinge so it doesn’t crack open as I close it which only became an issue after I had it fixed the first time the cpu fan went out. It’s fans aren’t that loud when running at max. after 4 years of use and abuse it still runs fine I can still game on it even tho I don’t anymore, every time I start it up tho it screams cause the cpu fan isn’t working right but idc not worth buying another laptop for my degree when this can still finish school with me, for my first time ever getting a laptop and having no clue about specs and if it’s priced good or not it’s done me very well.

This the realest review I've ever seen for laptops.

[@kylewitter2806]

I have an Acer Nitro 5. I use it for video editing and gaming, and it was a really good choice for me.

[@jalalganda8304]

@Krack Kowkain stupid

[@mikejameson7678]

I use the G3 15 inch for the exact same thing, and it was a really good choice for me, aswell. No competition, both laptops are great. I am a little bias tbh, because.. well... I own the G3.

I liked the video, but I wouldn't call this "Cheap-ass", this makes my 1st gen Core i3 and GTX-650 look like a calculator lol.

[@onceuponaban]

Especially since the top tier option for the G3 packs an i7 8750H and the Max Q version of the GTX 1060 6GB.

I kinda prefer the more subdued look. Gamer style is not a good look for anyone over 25.

[@nicktan4530]

But it looks good for people under 21. Games are meant for kids in the first place.

[@jorgegutierrez8588]

Nick tan Hey man, games are fun no matter who you are. But the "gamer" look of some laptops brings too much attention to yourself. If there's a regular looking variant, I'd rather go for that.

[@nicktan4530]

Tell me about it. No offense, they look ridiculous and ugly to my taste. They look like custom built pc so to speak.

[@user-xu2wm3yq4z]

Nick tan I agree

[@leonidas14775]

[@kasen2145]

Hey, will this laptop still function well if I install Windows 8.1? Other features: 250GB SSD (as boot drive) and 1TB for storage.

[@xSabir-hc7wj]

Loved the vid linus, really helpful especially us uni students who try to balance between proce and performance

[@Dribbleondo]

This is one of the best reviews you've ever shot...ruined by a horrible title.

[@mochageico]

Dribbleondo lol

[@haditamimi6507]

Agreed. The title makes absolutely no sense and doesn't relate to the content

[@ChrisD__]

Yeah, I wouldn't consider someone with an $800 a cheap-ass gamer. Someone like me with a used Dell Optiplex 990 and HP OEM RX460 is a cheap-ass gamer.

[@haditamimi6507]

Chris D and even with that, the title is still misleading. How does a Dell G3 kinda-review answer wether you are a cheap ass gamer or not?

[@ChrisD__]

Hadi Tamimi, Well I guess if this is what you're life is like then Linus considers you a cheap ass gamer.

Hp or dell gaming laptop which one better?

[@diegodebenedittis460]

I'm having some issue with screen backlight. My g3 arrived 5 days ago, and screen backlight turn on sometimes, and sometimes no. I have some doubt if the issue is software or hardware, because it presents itself when i reastart the system and not when i move the screen panel. Any idea?

[@smitty7692]

Answer: Yes.

[@LordDragon1965]

Me, too, all my gaming (and KZbin viewing) is on a 3 year old bottom of the line Android tablet and I have never paid more than $10 for a game. Ever.

[@harbirsingh7266]

What about the life of integrated graphics people?

[@BloodRider1914]

It's great. 40 FPS on 10 year old games (and I'm not even talking Crysis) is great. Still, what about APU people?

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

Well intergrated gpus are getting better like at intel iris and vega 8+

[@matthewl5434]

Not to mention, they're usually inexpensive, good news for us people who will mostly utilize that decent GPU.
